Blowing on the Fire

When

I slow down,

take in

the breath

I am

getting ready.



It is in

these moments

of inner silence

that I feel

the earth

rumble

in my belly

while I consume

the air

for these

next steps.



I am not

holding on

to love

anymore.



I will not

stop

the flow

of the wisdom,

from this belly

that will not

let the fire

go out.



My hands and heart

are

warmed

by the flames

that roar

inside

this body

while we laugh

at all that we have

become.
